Rio Grande en Patagonia

This winter I had the opportunity to fulfill a dream of mine since I started kayaking. I traveled with a group of friends to Chile for a trip of a lifetime. The highlight of the trip was the Futaleufu River. Getting to the Futa was a long and involved process it involved 2 buses, an overnight ferry, and quite possibly the most unique "shuttle" ever. It was totally worth it though. Set among the beautiful scenery of Patagonia with the delicious asados, great friends, and world class kayaking; the days spent at the Futa were some of the best days of my life. This is a place that I hope to return to again and again. They say "a picture is worth a thousand words" so here you go!
